I'm trying to write a batch file that performs operations depending on the result of a modulus operation performed on a set variable. However, I can't seem to get it quite right.
To first of all test my syntax for the mathematical operation, I've been trying to get a simpler script to produce desired results.
:START
SETLOCAL
SET /P Input-Num="Input Number: "
SET /A Input-Num=%Input-Num% %% 2
ECHO %Input-Num%
ENDLOCAL
PAUSE
:END
If I input 5, the expected output is 1. However, instead I get a message saying Missing operator. and then it outputs 5.
What am I doing wrong here?
